“What I am reflecting on is that I have to forgive people, events, time, the world, the country and probably also myself in order to be able to write. Your Clarice Lispector was trying this, I assume, and somehow apparently she managed. Or maybe I should say this: I am writing in order to forgive.”

Dutch author and poet Maarten van der Graaff invites two of his poet colleagues for our 'Jalousie de métier'-series. Both do or have something in their poetry that the former envies. Johan Reyniers is their host. Dutch-speaking event.

A cultural institution must be able to be a safe, creative haven where talent weighs more than documents. Be it Passa Porta, or Globe Aroma.
Read the French or Dutch version of the open letter signed by various cultural institutions.

Jacques Beaudry has arrived in Brussels! During his residence at Passa Porta, he will work on a literary essay taking the form of a posthumous dialogue between Belgian poet Sophie Podolski and Québécoise novelist Nelly Arcan.
